Jupiter in the Rearview Mirror

In the final minutes of a recent close flyby of Jupiter, NASA's
Juno spacecraft captured a departing view of the planet's swirling southern
hemisphere.

This color-enhanced image was taken at 7:13 p.m. PDT on Sept.
6, 2018 (10:13 p.m. EDT) as the spacecraft performed its 15th close flyby of
Jupiter. At the time, Juno was about 55,600 miles (89,500 kilometers) from the
planet's cloud tops, above a southern latitude of approximately 75 degrees.

Citizen
scientist Gerald Eichstädt created this image using data from the spacecraft's
JunoCam imager.
